Shadowlands

4.0.2 Changelog:

Fixed some Creeper Forest trees not having trunks

Forgot to upload 4.0.1 to Modrinth oops...

4.0 Changelog:

Added Spell mobs which when summoned by the Plaguemaiden shoot magic beam attacks at the player

Added tag support for Eyelid (not a specific mod but rather shared tags I'm likely to reuse for different mods, only use for the new tags at the moment is making wands/magical items in Shadowlands repairable with the Repair Spell from Realms of Redemption)

Removed the Vellium Music and Sparkpolia Music sounds.json entries since the actual sound files were deleted ages ago

Various backend code improvements

Release notes (READ BEFORE UPDATING):

4.0 should be compatible with worlds from 3.0 and above, however there will be odd borders between old and new terrain and potentially bugged lighting near removed blocks or blocks where the light level has been changed. Addon/modpack developers should check through any Shadowlands FTB quests files they have to check for broken parts, and should check logs for broken custom recipes/loot tables/other datapack elements they have added containing items from this mod. Feel free to reach out to me if you need any help with that.

Future plans:

Vellium needs reworking, more models/textures need changing, several bosses need more detailed fights, there's still so much to do but it will need to wait, I'm running low on motivation again.

3.11 Changelog:

Lots of much needed balance changes and bug fixes

Doubled Pyrite ore spawning rate (it's barely even used, no point making it annoying to find)

Nerfed Shadowlands Diamond Ore from 4 attempts per chunk to 3 (it was a little too easy to find in the huge caves)

Multiplied Ruby Cube and Golden Cube spawns by 3.3 (They were WAY too rare)

Nerfed Enhanced Ruby Sword drops from Ruby Cubes by half to make up for the buffed spawning

Buffed Void Armor Loot Block drops from 25% chance of dropping armor to 33% (average of 4 dungeons to get a whole set was too grindy)

Buffed Glowshroom Forest Treehouse spawning by 33%

Nerfed Doom Star Vex spawning from a 25% each time damage is taken with a max of 8 Vexes within 16 blocks of the Doom Star to 8 within 48 blocks and 10%

Added more information to the end of the item description for the Glowshroom Master Token, Toxic Spore and Corrupted Tablet (English localization only at the moment)

Added description to Stone Trader block, Redstone Bullets and Goo (English localization only at the moment)

Changed Cherry Wand, Deception Wand, Pastel Carver, Plague Sword and Glowshroom Master Token to have Uncommon rarity

Fixed Star Crystal Helmet not having Rare rarity

Fixed Doom Star Statue not dropping

Fixed Glowshroom Forest Treehouse Trader not spawning and tweaked the trades slightly

Changed storage block name format from "ResourceName Block" to "Block of ResourceName" to match vanilla
Fixed Shadowlands slabs only dropping a single slab even when double
Fixed Golden Cube having a missing texture
Changed the Shadow Walker loot table so they now won't drop coins if they die of fall damage from having spawned in a silly place
Changed Shadows and Decipedes so now they disappear in a puff of smoke rather than actually dying if they would die of fall damage from having spawned in mid air, to make the behaviour look somewhat intentional (it's not send help) and to prevent the player getting lots of easy meat/coins
Fixed Belronite armor not having an equip sound

3.10.3 Changelog:

Fixed Glowshroom Master Helmet and Star Crystal Helmet crashing the game when worn

3.10.2 Changelog:

Removed ambient worm sounds
Removed unneeded sound overrides for some mobs
Removed some unneeded modded entity code
Increased copper output of copper acid processing recipe

Fixed Tainted Grass being too pinkish, due to it using the same top texture as the recently changed Red Grass
Improved loot tables for the Shadowlands leaves
Fixed bosses being able to go in boats/minecarts

Various minor bug fixes/improvements

Made tooltips translatable and changed color of all of them to gray Increased Shadow Spinner health by 2 Removed some useless code and optimised a few things Made Plaguemaiden immune to poison Added daisies to the Vellium dimension (not a new block just a model variant for the grass) Stopped Vellor and Velliar coral from generating as it made no sense to have them generating out of water and they looked out of place. Might delete the blocks as well later Changed Velweed to generate in the Creeper Forest instead of Vellium Added Creep Slab and Creep Stairs Improved the Vellium Megabee model (it has wings and legs now) Made the very tall shadow tower structure rarer, since it's not needed for progression so doesn't need to be easy to find Added recipes for cloud bricks and their variants Blacklisted Golden Leaves from the Twilight Forest uncrafting table

3.5 Changelog: 

I was originally planning to add more to this update before releasing but then I found a problematic bug so thought best to just release it and then add further content to a later update.

Major bugfix: fixed Golden Cube and Ruby Cube not spawning

Fixed Velite (Neon Gem Ore) not spawning Replaced the Gray Shadow Forest trees Added Shadow Thorns, a dangerous plant found in Shadow Forest biomes, primarily underground, used in some recipes Changed tooltips to dark gray and changed any which used nbt to use the lang file instead Improved the lang file, changed a few entries and removed unused/not planned to be used entries Improved tagging some more Changed Belronite Armor's auto enchanting to be more optimised Added Thorny Bow - arrows crit on half charge or above and power enchant is 40% more effective on this bow Added Bow Of Greed - uses 3 arrows per shot but only fires 1 and power enchant is 100% more effective on this bow (can sometimes 1 shot zombies on fully charged crit power V) Added Nightshroom Ingot - ingredient for the new bows, will likely have other uses as well Added pastel green, yellow and pink leaves Added the Pastel Forest biome to the Vellium dimension Reduced the Doom Star's vex spawning ability to only trigger 75% of the time Made Doom Star immune to lava, sweet berry bushes and suffocation as the fast damage could cause lag with the vexes Fixed some underground dungeons in the Shadow Forest generating floating underground Slightly reduced Vellium Diamond Ore generation

3.4 Changelog:

Added Acid Snail - a new mob which places Acid on the ground upon death, this acid can be picked up with a Containment Box and then used in ore processing to get 50% more ore (or more in some recipes) or used to recycle certain items. Compatible with a lot of ores from other mods Added water pools to the Vellium Mountains and Toxic Forest biomes Fixed Creeper Forest mobs and Vellium Worms not spawning naturally Improved some of the Fiery Armor textures Added Marine, Spiked and Lightweight upgrade kits Fixed Ultraflame Ingot not being in a creative tab Improved tagging Added Nightshrooms, a decorative huge mushroom found in the Gray Shadow Forest and Void Forest biomes which spawns both above and below ground (may have actual uses later) Fixed the Shadow Forest sky appearing blue when used with some other mods Tweaked the colours of a few textures in the Shadow Forest to make them not clash as badly

3.2 Changelog (3.1 is on Curseforge, forgot to upload here)

Changed the Spore King boss from being a cloud of particles to an actual textured model

Added a config, with options to disable the first world load message and guide book

Added a not yet implemented saw pillar block, might make some structures including it or might remove it, not sure yet

Added recipes to make torches and glowing ink sacks from Glowing Residue

First full release for Shadowlands 3!

I've been spending nearly all day every day for weeks rewriting Shadowlands in Java, older versions of the mod were done in Mcreator but that stops here.

There have been a lot of changes, Tyrene has been removed entirely as it was fairly empty, Sparkpolia has been merged with the Shadow Forest, several new traders and structures have been added, lots of useless items removed, and various aspects of the game changed either for performance reasons, making it more fun, or just cause it's much easier to make it that way. The mod may be 5x smaller in file size but it still has everything which was important in the old versions and some new stuff, anything which was removed was removed because it was filler/not that interesting/not the right way to make something. A few old features will likely return though, with improvements.

In time I hope to add a lot more content to this mod - more bosses, structures, detailed caves and things to do, porting to 1.20.4, but having worked so hard on it this these past few days I'm getting a little burnt out so that will have to wait a bit.
